i believe that free will not be released. free and parnell and maybe a draft pick will fight for the starting tackle spot. if parnell and the rookie play better then free then he will be released. if not then free will be here one more year. to me as bad as free played last year i still hate to say that he will be on the team next year.

Moving positions a lot doesn't really mean anything to me when you have been playing the position you are projected to play and looked physically incapable to keep up with outside speed or inside power.

It's not a matter of him being in position and getting beat, most of the time he can't even get into position. He looked as slow as one-legged Colombo did at the end of his tenure and there were times where he literally was blasted right into Romo's lap.

I think it might have been Fuzzy who said it a while back but Free has the sort of peak and fall in performance you'd expect from a guy who was roiding.

There is no case to keep the other guy than for cap purposes of not being able to absorb the total high right now.

whether he stays or goes all depends on the cap situation and where the team is. If they need space this year and he gets them some as a June cut then he goes.

Free isn't Rob Pettiti. He's played the position at a high level for entire seasons and was a coveted free agent by other front offices, which is why Dallas had to outbid Tampa Bay to keep him as a UFA. IMHO, it's mostly a confidence issue, which then causes you to lose faith in your technique.

I don't think having Tampa chase you is automatically a sign that you are good. Free is not a good tackle, he stunk last year. He makes way too much money and that money could be used elsewhere.
